Here they are. I didnt mark them. they were stock so I didnt think I would have a problem but while I'm swapping valve covers I decided to check pusrod length and see what was up if anything. All new combo. I was told the 7.4 's would be good but I never checked for myself.
The rockers were fresh from HS so they were clean of markings. The valve stems new as well. There is about 500 miles or less on the motor.

Pushrod length won't determine the wipe pattern, not sure if that is what you were saying. Your rockers look like mine did, maybe even better. I installed Cranes as when I checked the wipe on the valve stems the Cranes provided a thinner wipe than I could achieve with the stock rockers.

Well you couldnt see the pattern in the pictures so I used a marker and re-did it. Just wanted opinions on the wear showing on the rocker as well as double check myself on the swipe. You can see on the one valve ok but in person it was easier to see. It's dead centered on top of the stem.
